Where can I get completely free 2d animation software?




I don’t want 3d animation. I don’t want vector animation. I want to import jpegs, sequence them, then export them as movie files or flash or whatever, with basic editing functions. I don’t want just a free trail.
I thought it would be easy to find but it’s not.
If you have a reliable link to a cracked version ( for educational purposes), I would appreciate it.
